A fake conversation I had after watching The Darjeeling Limited.
“What’d you think?” She asked. “Did you like it?”
“I liked Hotel Chevalier better.” He said.
“Why?”
“Because I like hotels better than I like trains,” He said. “And I don’t like hot weather. This movie made me feel sweaty. And bored.”

the girl and her harmonica
Jimmy and April got Jaimes a harmonica. She plays hard and she plays long. Lucky for us, it’s always in tune. She’s actually getting quite good. Makes me wish we had a porch to sit on.
Easter weekend and a birthday party
We are preparing everything for Gracie’s birthday party. Cupcakes are cooked and cooling. Pooh shaped cookies are in the oven as I type. The theme is Winnie the Pooh - mainly because I inherited the Pooh shaped cookie sheet and Tigger cake mold. I was afraid that Tigger would take most of the day so I decided to do cupcakes instead. I just picked up some marzipan to make little bumble bees to go on the cupcakes but it was as solid as a rock! Grrr. Thanks a lot Kroger! I had high hopes for these little cupcakes - hopefully I can get my hands on some marzipan by the afternoon.
This week I made some playdough with Jaimes (and Gracie on my back) and we made a mountain that Jesus died on. Friday we acted out what happend to Jesus on the cross - in context for a soon-to-be 4 year old. Then read all of the stories in her Jesus Storybook Bible and followed up with coloring a hand-drawn pic of Jesus on the cross. It was such a sweet time with Jaimes. I so wish Matt could have been there but he had to work yesterday. Tomorrow morning I can’t wait to show Jaimes that the stone had been moved at Jesus is alive!!
Happy Easter
**update: cookies were burnt and no marzipan yet. sigh. Looks like we’ll be having cupcakes.
** another update: Just so you know, marzipan and almond paste aren’t the same. There will not be any bees buzzing around our cupcakes. Oh well. Our little birthday girl is refusing her second nap too. What a day.
